3.75

This was a lot more grotesque than what I was imagining and more ways than one…… 
IYKYK

I read this book at 3.75. I think that this is definitely a gruesome book for Halloween and spooky season. I will say, however, if you have any type of issues with mutilation, gore, and incest, I would stay away from this book. 

The main character, Lori, definitely is fighting some demons in her head. Things that should never have happened, things that she could have easily not let happen. Because of these demons, it seems like she is dealing with a sort of mental illness. Her mind is definitely not right and she somehow falls in love with a serial killer. The serial killer, Edmund is behind bars, but she believes that they are meant to be.

Edmund sends her on a journey to go find the river man and give him something that was left in his old shack. Lori goes on this quest and takes her sister, Abby, and it all goes downhill from there… 

Very creepy… More grotesque than scary, but if you’re into that type of spook, this is for you
